Globo.com reports that Wanderson was involved in Cruzeiro's recent match amidst ongoing transfer negotiations. Coach Artur Jorge used more than 20 players, including athletes whom Cruzeiro is trying to negotiate, such as Wanderson. The player entered in the second half, missed an opportunity, and was later substituted.

Wanderson is no longer in Cruzeiro's plans and may seek a new club. Wanderson was a starter for Cruzeiro in 2025 under Leonardo Jardim and was signed in February of the previous year with a contract until the end of 2027. With Artur Jorge, his role diminished and he became one of the last options in the offensive sector.
